"My car just came out of the shop on friday and that's the last thing that I want to do is have it repaired again," said car owner Carol Brown.

Now police are asking for the public's help in finding the vandals who they believe to be a group of teens that started smashing their way through parts of Bellmore and Merrick with a blunt object between 11 p.m. Saturday night to 6 a.m. the next morning.

"And that [timeframe] is believe to be substantiated from some victims hearing damage to their vehicles followed by a cheer from youthful voices," said Sullivan.

A neighborhood in Wantagh was also hit by the bandits -- and authorities are asking residents here to check their surveillance cameras in hopes of catching the suspects on tape red handed.

"This is a serious crime that the police department is investigating and we do have some viable leads," said Sullivan.

A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can help lead to the arrest of those responsible for the crimes.
